Debussy L'enfant prodigue
Ravel L'enfant et les sortil猫ges

Stellar singers from the Royal College of Music Opera Studio bring to life Debussy鈥檚 biblical parable and Ravel鈥檚 magic realist fantasy.

Debussy鈥檚 richly orchestrated L鈥檈nfant prodigue (The Prodigal Son) showcases the composer鈥檚 trademark melodic gestures and expressive detail in a retelling of the Bible story.

In Ravel鈥檚 L鈥檈nfant et les sortil猫ges (The Bewitched Child) animals and animated objects teach an unruly child a lesson in empathy after he is sent to his room, with the action leading us into a lush garden. The opera sets a libretto by Colette, the celebrated author of Gigi.

The 番茄直播app Opera Studio is supported by the Patrick & Helena Frost Foundation and Old Possum鈥檚 Practical Trust
